A Voice From the Grave.

A small tablet of stone was recently
found in the Black Hills containing
the following inscription. On n
side is the following list of names:
Came to the Hills in 1893, ! of us.
Emile Angus,
Ezra Kind,
Z. w. Wood,
r. Kent,
William King,
Indian Crow,
All dead bnt me Ezra Kind.
Killed by Indians behind the high
hill. They got all our gold. June
1884.
On the other side is cut in similar
characters:
Got all the Gold we could carry.
Our poneys were got by the Indians.
l have lost my gun and have got moth
ing to eat. Indians are hunting me.
Fifty years ago. The imagination
is left to picture the suffering of the
adventurous men who wandered and
were killed in the then almost UNI
known wilds of Dakota. The tablet
is an echo from unknown graves above
which, to-day. is the hum of industry
and the peace of Dako.

confined since his arrest, to pond built
near by for the purpose, and there i'm
mersed after the profession of his faith,
by the Rev. Thomas Scott, colored, of
Toccoa, who was his spiritual adviser.
1t was, to say the least, a novel as we'll
as solemn scene. There, with q chain
around his neck, and one end held by
Sheriff Gastley, with four men with
double barrel shot guns, two upon either
side of the pond guarding the candidate,
he was baptised. The minister read q
chapter from the Bible, gave out a hymn,
which was sung by those present, feel
